The trip includes two of the worlds most famous skates: the Pari-Roller and Rollers & Coquillages. The Pari-Roller is equivalent to our FNS it's just
on a much bigger scale! Read a review
of this skate posted a few years ago. In terms of speed and atmosphere
the R & C is like our Roller Stroll - but again much bigger!
We have several new additions this year!
Friday Before the Pari-Roller: An organised excursion to two well-known skate shops
for wheels, bearings or even new skates.
After the Pari-Roller: An informal meet up for food and drinks at the Pari-Roller
